Located close to the Waihou river, part of it conatins a commercial pool called Ramaroa
The pool “Ramaroa”, to give it its Maori name was first used by a Pakeha when JC Firth, on bringing his barges up the Waihou River, discovered it and used it as his private pool.
Legend tells a story of a Maori Chief and his Wahine who were warned to be through the Okauia area by dusk.
However, traveling on the river in a canoe called Ramaroa, the Chief became cold , so he ordered his Wahine to light a fire for warmth, ignoring the threat of being turned to stone.
How it turned out , we are not sure.
Cache is across the road, I advise approaching from down the hill and parking right beside GZ, even in winter the grass is good to park on.
Cache is a 200ml sistema type of container, BYOP
In doing so, dusk fell and the Maori lore has it that the pool is always hot because of the perpetual fire under the petrified bow of Canoe Ramaroa.
